2014 Citroen Relay 2.2L Diesel · WJ14 AEV

The 2026-03-18 MOT at 87,285 miles passed, confirming current roadworthiness despite a worn front brake disc and a registration plate lamp that was inoperative; the preceding 2026-03-16 test at the same mileage failed because the offside front coil spring was fractured, indicating that the spring has been replaced and the maintenance trend is improving. Over the twelve‑year lifespan the odometer has risen from 70,940 miles in November 2019 to 87,285 miles in March 2026, averaging 7,274 miles per year, a rate typical for a vehicle of this age, with no evidence of prolonged standing periods as the intervals between successive tests remain roughly annual. Recurring faults point to areas that merit close inspection: the front coil spring and suspension arm ball joint have shown play or fracture, the front and rear brake discs are worn, pitted or scored, and the brake pads have been noted as thin on several occasions, while the constant‑velocity drive‑shaft boots have repeatedly been split, suggesting potential contamination of the drivetrain. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the suspension bushes and springs, verify the integrity of the brake discs and pads, check the CV joints for play and boot integrity, test the parking brake travel, confirm that the door check strap is secure, and look for any structural rust or damage to mirrors that could affect long‑term reliability.
